All the outrage over SWBF2 is similar to the one over Shadow of War: lots of children and manchildren will whine about it on the Internet, yet in the end the game's quality and content will be the one that decides whether it fails or not.

Game has high quality, sure. But the fact remains the progression system is terribly uninspired and presents nothing different from other grindy games. The game is obviously built around MT's, instead of MT's being implemented around the game. Which brings the justified outrage IMO.

This comment is so insanely stupid, I can't fathom how you can think that. EA artificially lengthened the grind to entice you into buying "time savers" and you call the people that are upset whiners. Please do us a favor and quit gaming because it's mindsets like yours that will destroy our beloved pastime.

Riiiiiiight, of course it's going to destroy it. It's not like there aren't hundreds of other shooters released in 2017, but this one's going to bring the whole thing down. I swear, kids theses days are getting pretty melodramatic about inconsequential things. Don't buy the game, I'm not. Pretty simple equation really.

@weeb you are worse than the original poster. That's right stick your head in the sand and it will go away then call people children cause you are to dense to understand the long term implications of these crappy business practices.

I just called my local game store and they have the Elite version available. I'm going to withdraw some cash from a local ATM and then I'm going to buy it. AND YOU CAN'T STOP ME!!! MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

i would say a huge amount has refunded the game just go look at the reddit. reached point where people are showing screenshots where the live chat person doesnt even ask why they want a refund anymore they are just giving them out.

the backlash is huge on this, sure it was bad on Shadow Of War and i bet it hurt Shadow of War's overall sales which i reckon for Battlefront 2 it will be even more severe as i wouldnt be surprised if the sales on Battlefront 2 is pretty poor overall and well under what they was expecting.

@fitsniper im not so sure and this isnt just being covered by reddit its reached stage where any video games outlet is covering it because it has reached that level of publicity.

heck the reddit post has over -600k which means over 600k accounts have downvoted it just that comment alone.

you start to then have word of mouth spread and that could easily become 1+ million people who may have brought the game no longer buying it. for a game like Battlefront that could be huge as if were to go by the costs of game development that even EA has tried to use to defend itself before. losing that much revenue could mean the game actually loses money overall.

And as usual babies complaining about other people complaining... You forgot about that one. No it's nothing like shadow of War. Shadow of war is not a mp focused game with a pay to win model backing its mechanics. OT well if they're going to be discounted then aren't the reviews already irrelevant? What a way to make a game that needs to be reviewed multiple times before coming out with an actual verdict that represents the actual crappy product.

People are not whining, complaining about anti consumer practices is not whining but you problaly dont get that:( give EA your money be part off the scam keep telling yourself people are whining and waste your money.

And they cut it again to 15,000. Some people claim they have unlocked heroes after just a few hours of playing, and I think that not all heroes cost the same, plus there are several ways to get credits, I think you even get credits just for logging in daily. I'll find out on my own in a few hours after I finish downloading the day 1 update.
